**Source book**: Cutting Aces

The concept of subliminal advertising is over a century
old. While most of the old stuff has been disproved as
pseudoscience, subliminal subacoustics have proven to
be effective. Certain acoustic frequencies can have dramatic effects on the mood and cognition of metahumans
on a subliminal level. These acoustic frequencies can be
tuned to a certain mood, such as love, hate, rage, or despair. Any standard speaker can broadcast these frequencies. Those affected by subliminal subacoustics take a –2
dice pool penalty to actions opposed to the emotion. For
example, a subject engaged in combat while feeling rage
uffers no penalty, while a subject attempting negotiation would suffer the penalty. Subjects in an area where a
subliminal subacoustic frequency is being broadcast must
make a Logic + Willpower (2) Test or be affected.
